ABSTRACT
How is global togetherness possible? How does the availability of the Internet alter migrants’ everyday lives and senses of belonging? This book attempts to illuminate how Internet technologies influence everyday life patterns in transnational milieus. Based on an empirical case study, the present study exemplifies that complex combinations of global media use and face-to-face encounters emerge in response to the specific needs of transnational populations and bring about new global forms of togetherness. In the foreground lies the question of which intrinsic logic is developed through globalization processes on a microstructural level, and conversely, how globality is achieved by the structural idiosyncrasies of computer-mediated communication.
